2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Californiamore |
7/6/2023 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 91 pointsNose of dark red fruits, bacon fat, smoked ham. Thick, mouth-coating palate of dark smoky fruit, charcoal, raw lamb, and a layer of dried herbs. The herbal component builds on the finish, adding white pepper, dark cherry, and both oak and balsa wood driven by light acidity. Nice homage to a Rhone style Syrah, though it lacks a distinctive point of view. |

2006 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
6/6/2022 - jaumealaska wrote: 87 pointsMedium garnet with bricking. Cork was immaculate and almost new looking. I have had it cellared since 2013 and most of my wine age behind the usual profiles Because my cellar range is 48 to 58 degrees. However this wine showed significant age with prunish and sherry oxidation notes to the nose. The body was light with resolved Tannins but enough acidity to give some life. Decent balance and some dark fruit left. Medium finish. Not bad but not hoped for more. Bought from Premier Cru.

2007 Tablas Creek Esprit de BeaucastelPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
5/3/2020 - jaumealaska Likes this wine: 93 pointsPnP. Plum to garnet in color with some lightening at the rim. Medium bodied. Medium viscosity. Expressive nose has meat and game of the Mourvèdre with some kir and spice notes poking underneath. Medium dark fruits with great acid and resolved tannins in balance and medium long finish. Beautiful wine in its mature phase but not fading at all. Would drink this blind with older CDP and bet no one could pick out the American cousin

10/13/2018 - BigTex22 Does not like this wine: 86 pointsYikes, not a huge fan of this bottle. Nice bouquet, but this had a heavy woodsy element (oak?), minus the vanilla. Alcohol was present and a wee bit too forward. Maybe just an off bottle?

2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th AnniversaryNapa Valley more |
5/12/2018 - Eleven wrote: 85 pointsMy wife is a huge Caymus fan so I bought a case of this. Did not enjoy the overly sweet fruit extravaganza a few years back. Was hoping it would be a bit more approachable in time. It’s okay. Certainly not worth the cost, but my wife is enjoying it, so what the hell. Still too fruity. Overly ripe cherries and a syrupy sweet menthol flavors. A bomb on the tongue, but a touch more balanced now than a few years ago.
